MAME 0.270

26 Sep 2024

We’re happy to announce that MAME 0.270 is ready! A lot of work has gone into a lot of different areas of MAME throughout September. One very interesting addition is the “Zoomer” PDA. Built by Casio and marketed under multiple brand names, this PDA ran MS-DOS 3.3, GEOS 2.0 and the PenRight user interface. It was one of the first PDAs to include software developed by Palm Computing. Other exotic systems include the Sony NWS-3270 workstation and 68000 development boards from Marion Systems and Motorola themselves.

The Hitachi Basic Master Jr. is now working, giving a glimpse of the Japanese home computer market in the early 1980s. UMC’s attempt at taking on Sega and Nintendo in the mid-1990s, the Super A’Can, is in a much better state than it was previously. Although it still isn’t considered working, numerous issues with graphics and sound have been addressed, and battery-backed cartridge memory is now supported. Several more Apple II input peripherals are now supported. Support for hard-sectored floppy disk formats has been added, which should open up storage options for computers from the S-100 era.


起動方法

定義ファイルを読むと、mame.exeの存在するディレクトリーの roms/ に 以下の内容のファイルを bmjr.zip という名前で置けば良いようです。

  • bas.rom
  • mon.rom
  • prt.rom
  • font.rom

このままだとフルスクリーンで開いてしまい、プログラム開発向けではないので、ALR+Enterでウィンドウモードにする。

motやhexを起動するにはどうすればいいのだろうか? そもそもできるんだろうか
